Reading: as mentioned in a previous post we are teaching my son whole words reading (sight words). However, at the same time we are working on letter recognition to get him ready for phonics and phonetic reading. We are focusing on letter sounds, rather than letter names, as the sounds will be way more useful for reading.
By far, for us, the best DVD for teaching letters was Leap Frog "Letter Factory" which we initially got from our local library, but worked so well that we decided to buy it. Another good one is Signing time "ABC" episode, especially if your kid already knows and loves Signing Time series. BTW, Leap Frog "Let's go to school" is a great video to get your kids ready of their first day of kindergarten.
Math: Teaching numbers from 1 to 20: Sesame Street "The great numbers game". Teaching numbers from 1 to 100: Scholastic Emily's first 100 days of school. We are now working on number recognition from 1 to 100, so we've posted on our fridge this numbers chart. Cheap and it does the job.
